Two brothers Of Editor Wait, Of
the Beacon, are paying him a visit
this week. One Of them il from Sa-
lima, the other, whom Mr.. Wait
has not seen for nineteen years, is
from Summit county, Ohio.-LiR-
coin Center Beacon.
A. c. Wait says that the Lincoln
Center fair can boast Of q curiosity
probably not exhibised upon any
other fair ground ia the United
States. Upon the Lincoln Center
fair grounds there il 4 prairie dog
town in a high state Of colonial

There should be are lights, in addi-
ton to those we now have, at the
corners Of Seventh and Iron, Walnut
and Santa Re, and Santa Fe and
Ash. Arrangements have already
been made for an are lamp at the
corner Of Iron and Seventh-tO be
placed there by private subserip-
ton. II will be put up this week.
Robert Bowling returned yester-
day fIom his Texas trip. He was in
pursuit Of q bunch Of horses which
belonged TO his drove, but did
not find. From Coolidge to Pan
handle lac drove overland in five
days-a very hard trip. He burned
his face badly in the sun, and the
outer coating Of the skin is peeling
of.
The HeraId OF yesterday contain
ed in an obscure place the announce
ment Of Frank X. Shaw a. a candi-
date for register Of deeds, subject to
the decision Of the Democratic con-
ventiOn. While there was not one
word Of favorable mention from the
Hsrdid for Mr.. shaw. that paper
contained a half column pun fOT &.

\ compromise was effected this
morning in the suit of James Tink-
Ter vs.. the &. C., :. Y. & w. railway
company, which Was begun yester
day in the District Court. The
amount agreed upon was S:235 for the
right-of-way damages. The amount
allowed, it will be remembered, was
was $lOl. The ease was from Eureka
township.
The Republican to-day gives con-
siderable advice tO Republicans, and
proceeds to tell them whom they
should support and what they should
do in the coming county convention.
The article does not tell us who
wrote it-whether il was Payne-the
Democrat, or Andrews, who has not
yet proved to a painting world what
his politics is.
As fine r sample Of brick as we
have seen, we believe, comes from
BrOOkville. 10 was made from the
clay i'm that vicinity, and was burned
there. The specimen appears to
equal the red brick from Kansas
city, being bright red i'm color and
very hard. The red brick used i'm
Salina hereafter ought to come from
BroOkville, instead Of from else
where.
In the case of Caroline Coleman
against the Missouri Pacific, appeal
from appraisement, the plaintiff was
awarded $1,000 damages in the dis
trict court, yesterday afternoon.
She was allowed S535 by the apprais-
ers. James Tinker VS.. the Council
Grove, Smoky Valley & Western
railway cOmpany-right If way case
appeal from the county commits
siOners-was called this morning;
jury trial. The plaintiff was
awarded $lOl damages, and prays for
$500.
Saline county can and does grow
some tall corn. There are two SAM
Piles at the Office Of Carlin, Supple &
Co., which are simply immense.
They are every inch Of fifteen feet in
heighth. On ebunch came from the
farm of Robert Muir, one mile north
Of town, and the other from the farm
OF a Mr.. Reed, six miles north. We
saw, also, at the same place, some
magnificent specimens Of corn in ear
OF Saline county, and several stalks
Of fine sugar cane from he farm Of
J. NJ. Anderson, i'm Greeley township.
The Crawford county system of
nominating candidates seems to be
taking this section of the country
with storm. Dickinson and Otta-
wa counties will adopt il hereafter,
and there is talk of il in McPher-
son. We would urge that the mat
ter be considered AT the coming Re
publican convention i'm Saline coun-
ty, and theplan adopted. The old
style convention has grown into dis
favor, and its commands are made
light of. Under thee Crawford
county system the Martin boo ,lers
would have very little chance to
"run things"

Our esteemed newspaper cOntem-
poraries-bOth Juggling at the same
source of supply-scream with vigOr
that Sampson is making a personal
fight on Martin. Allow for the
moment he is. What has that got
TO do about the canvas? The ques-
ton is not whom Sampson supports.
but is he telling the truth. We
have charged Martin with being
